I randomly found a tree on the side of the road and sat down against it.
Watching Lao He pick up some branches from around and build a small firewood pile.
Zhang Bao wanted to help, but he really couldn't do it.
I can only watch.
"Master, let's have something to eat and rest here, and then go directly to the city."
As Lao He spoke, he took out his fire sickle and prepared to light a fire.
"I'll try!"
Seeing this, Zhang Bao asked Lao He for it, and imitated Hu Dugu's behavior before, knocking and then blowing.
I tried several times in a row, but it didn't light up.
Either there are fewer sparks, or the wind is blowing strong.
After trying a few more times, I gradually found the trick and started the fire.
Although it is tedious, it is also interesting.
Lao He took out a few pieces of wolf meat and flour cakes from the bag on one side, roasted them on the fire, and handed a bamboo tube filled with water to Zhang Bao.
We are in the wilderness now, there is no one around, so there is no need to worry.
Zhang Bao took the bamboo tube and took just one sip before spitting it out.
The water inside is cold.
It hurts my teeth.
"Lao He, this is too cold. Why don't we boil some water to drink?"
Zhang Bao asked in surprise.
"Master, now that we are outside, we can only make do with this."
"Hold the water in your mouth first, and then swallow."
Lao He said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao took a look and found that the two of them really had nothing to offer. Even if they wanted to boil water, they had no suitable utensils.
I had no choice but to give up.
In the past, field troops generally did not allow soldiers to drink ice water, otherwise the body would soon be overwhelmed. They were all equipped with self-heating heating packs.
Zhang Bao could only follow what Lao He said and took a few sips.
"Master, please be more considerate."
"In the past, when the Zhang family was well off, everything was easy to do. Now, the Zhang family has almost nothing."
Lao He was baking something and talking to himself.
"When I came that day, I found that the firewood in the courtyard was almost gone. But when I came back yesterday, there was a lot more. The young lady must have picked it up."
"When it's inappropriate to say something, I'll say it."
"You can't find a girl like Mistress with a lantern. Before, you..."
"Oh, let's not talk about it. The young mistress has suffered a lot. If I can treat her better in the future, then--"
"Uh... Master, you eat something first!"
When Lao He saw Zhang Bao looking at him in surprise, he couldn't say anything anymore and handed over a piece of roasted wolf meat and flour cake.
Zhang Bao smiled when he saw Lao He looking a little nervous.
It seems that traveling through time is not without its merits.
At least I have a caring confidant and a reliable elder.
"I know, Uncle He."
"I will."
Zhang Bao nodded.
Hearing Zhang Bao's words, Lao He couldn't believe it.
…
At this time, Zhang Bao and his friends were in their yard.
Su Xiaoyue woke up in a daze.
Get ready to cook some food for Zhang Bao and Lao He. They are going to the county government today.
As a result, Su Xiaoyue touched it casually and found that Zhang Bao's seat next to her was empty.
Su Xiaoyue was so panicked that she quickly got up.
When I saw that Lao He next to me was not there, I thought something had happened.
He quickly opened the door and walked out.
Just getting ready to step out.
But I found that there seemed to be some writing on the sand at the door.
Kneel down and take a closer look.
But it was left by Zhang Bao:
Xiaoyue, we left early in the morning. You should have a good meal and don't go out.
Su Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment.
A numb feeling went from the back to the top of the head.
Su Xiaoyue suddenly felt the urge to cry.
He looked up at the newly whitened sky, and patted his little head with some annoyance.
Then he held his breath and lowered his head to carefully examine the line left by Zhang Bao.
I was afraid that my breathing would make these writings disappear.
"My husband, since when have I been so lazy when writing? I have omitted so many strokes..."
"There are also typos!"
"When you have time when you come back, you must urge your husband to practice hard."
Su Xiaoyue's eyes narrowed into two crescents.
He carefully took a bamboo basket and covered the words written by Zhang Bao.
Then it started to get busy.
…
Zhang Bao and Lao He were eating and chatting on the roadside.
Lao He seemed to enjoy this conversation with Zhang Bao.
Often when Zhang Bao asks a question, Lao He can answer seven or eight sentences.
Zhang Bao also knew a lot of things.
Zhang Bao originally thought that drinking hot water was a normal thing, but he learned from Lao He's words that in this day and age, ordinary households cannot even afford hot water.
The main issue is firewood. Ordinary families simply cannot afford charcoal and coal, so they have to collect firewood themselves.
But the quantity is very small.
It can barely support the needs of cooking, but it is difficult to do the rest.
Especially during this time.
There was little time to open the stove at home, even less firewood, and I couldn't walk far when I was hungry.
Most people just sit there and don't move when they have nothing to do.
Fortunately, there is still some water in several wells in the village. Although the water level is shallow, it is not completely dry yet.
It simply subverted Zhang Bao's imagination.
Even horses are the same.
In Zhang Bao’s impression.
When people in ancient times went out, didn't they always ride on big horses or something?
Tell Zhang Bao the truth.
I really thought wrong.
Nowadays, most of them are mules and donkeys, and there are relatively few cattle.
Horses are even a rarity for most people.
before.
Mr. Zhang once spent 600 taels of silver to buy a yellow-maned horse.
After coming back.
He serves me like an uncle and has never ridden before.
Now, along with the mules, horses, and oxen, they all belong to the officials and bandits.
The two of them finished eating and drinking and rested for a while.
